Stored Procedure not updating database - stored-procedures

Question

Issue:
The database is not updating but I'm unsure where it drops.
I've used numerous ones in the past but I can't see why this is not working. If I could see how to run an error test on the stored procedure I suspect that would help.
Tests:
I pass the variables to a label, after the stored procedure request in the .aspx code to check the values exist (left in code)
Change int to varchar in the stored procedure
Query:
How do I fix this and then how can I run tests to find the issues in the future
Stored Procedure:
USE [DATABASE]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[spChangeValue] Script Date: 11/08/2015 12:02:13 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
-- =============================================
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spRiskRatingChange]
#ActionID int,
#EmployeeID int,
#NewRating varchar(10)
AS
DECLARE #DateChanged AS nvarchar(max)
SET #DateChanged = GETDATE()
DECLARE #OldRating AS nvarchar(max)
DECLARE #OldComments AS nvarchar(max)
DECLARE #EmployeeName AS nvarchar(max)
SET #OldRating =
(
SELECT OverallRiskCategory FROM TblAsbestos WHERE ID = #ActionID
)
SET #OldComments =

SET #EmployeeName =
(
SELECT UserFirstName + ' ' + UserSurname FROM SystemUsers WHERE ID = #EmployeeID
)
BEGIN

SET NOCOUNT ON;
UPDATE TblAsbestos SET OverallRiskCategory = #NewRating, RiskCategory = #NewRating,
Comments= ('Rating changed from ' + RTRIM(#OldRating) + ' to '
+ RTRIM(#NewRating) + 'By ' + #EmployeeName + ' on ' + #DateChanged + ' -- ' + #OldComments)
WHERE ID = #ActionID

Code in .aspx.vb

With command

Answer 1

Instead of
.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ActionID", Session("ActionID").ToString)
try
.Parameters.Add("#ActionId",SqlDbType.Int)
.Parameters("#ActionId").Value = CInt(Session("ActionId"))
I am assuming it is an int value you are passing
.Parameters.AddWithValue does an implicit type conversion and perhaps this is what is causing your problem
